    This Game is unbelievable Fun and Addictive! Ok, it's a simple Game-Mechanic, you shot and blew things up to get Money, spend this Money to shot more and blew more things up, to get more Money, spend this Money and shot and blew more, and more, and more. But i can't stop to play this Game, unless i have all my Weapons and Equipment to the Maximum and get the 3 Stars for beating all WavesThis Game is unbelievable Fun and Addictive!

    -I cant stop playing this game. I use gamefly so I get 3 games at a time and allll Vita..
    -Assasins creed,Vahalla Knights,Killzone.Mortla Kombat,,and zombie tycoon.. ALL of these games gets snubbed every day for TOTAL RECOIL. Im in week 3 of this $2 game and its soo addicting. I know better then to ruin the game by buying/cheating COINS/in-gameCURRENCY. that's the games bread and butter..

    Game breakdown--left thumbstick is movement(duh) and right is shoot(brilliant!) helps a lot with aiming and only a 30 second learning curve. very important for those of us intimidated with hefty controls..this games controls are brilliantly simple..
    --You get waves of enemies. just like Nazi Zombies from Call of Duty..And if you kill them within a second of eachother you get a x2 bonus and it goes up for every guy you take out in succession,,the narrator speaks and shoutrs it all to you so it helps iunm the midst of battle..
    --The best attribuite of this game is shopping. after each round youll earn anywhere from 7-15,000 and you can buy and upgrade youre 5-7 weapons, and theres a equipment slot where you upgrade health,armor,S-P-E-E-D and regen etc..A lot like any other game where you upgrade youre guy..
    Ecept this game does it with money..
    ---Im 3 weeks deep and just only tonight got my 2nd weapon. allllll this time ive been using the starter gun-the assault rifle. fully upgraded,, but its fast, has upgraded long range and im having a blast upgrading my guy before I get weapons,,,
    ---but there sareas locked in the small in-game map that you can opnly go through it if you hit it with say youre flamethrower or rocket launcher. and you get bonus stuff in that area.. I haven't gone back yet..
    ---Also, it gets mega play from me cause its the perfect game for me if I go out back to smoke or just wanna play for 1 level..
    1 level 3-5 minutes.. BRILLIANT!! this game make sme like the vita a lot.,...get it and like it!

    Total Recoil is the classic twin stick shooter: bringing ton of fun despite all its basic simplicity.

    Eiconic has set a solid template for Total Recoil, with ample content and generally enjoyable gameplay. However, it's the flaws and foibles inherited from its smartphone roots that spoil the potential of its upgrade system. Therefore, enhancing weapons, killstreaks, and equipment feels too expensive using the in-game currency, so you may find it a chore to toil and grind through repeated wave attacks.
